Franca Glacier is a glacier in Antarctica flowing northeast into the head of Solberg Inlet on the Bowman Coast, south of Houser Peak. It was photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service in 1940 and by the U.S. Navy in 1966, surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey between 1946 and 1948, and named in 1977 for Fernando E. Franca, a medical officer and station manager at Palmer Station in 1974.
